4 posts | 9 read | 4 to read
From multi-award-winning, literary legend Ursula K. Le Guin comes a speculative fiction classic, The Eye of the Heron. In Victoria on a former prison colony, two exiled groupsthe farmers of Shantih and the City dwellerslive in apparent harmony. All is not as it seems, however. While the peace-loving farmers labor endlessly to provide food for the City, the City Bosses rule the Shantih with an iron fist. When a group of farmers decide to form a new settlement further away, the Bosses retaliate by threatening to crush the "rebellion." Luz understands what it means to have no choices. Her father is a Boss and he has ruled over her life with the same iron fist. Luz wonders what it might be like to make her own choices. To be free to choose her own destiny. When the crisis over the new settlement reaches a flash point, Luz will have her chance. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

They way this story unfolded was interesting. It is a look at the struggle to be free and what that ultimately means. But it also shines a spotlight on the nature of mankind, and the struggles with power and corruption that seem to plague humans. Overall I liked it. It did leave me with questions about what happens going forward with certain characters.

Loving this one, one of those “oh yes please” $2 thrift books. The Eye of the Heron is classic Le Guin and thoroughly rewarding, also very much enjoyed the lovely ‘Phoenix in the Ashes‘ by Joan D. Binge.

A delightful tale of a group of pacifists on a world run by gangsters. While there is drama and tragedy, it is a tale overall of faith and hope. This is one of my favorite authors of the 20th century.

Piled up some of my next picks for #sfftbrchallenge prompts. Then couldn't decide which one to read next so @cwheeler picked The Eye of the Heron. Great pick! I'm already almost finished!

Anyone have recs for which one I should read next? I'm thinking Ghost Bride...
